Subject: To Bob Hyatt: Ply Number Versus Rating

Bob Hyatt,

I think you could probably answer this question if anyone can. Do you know how
the rating increases with ply depth. I have seen a figure of 200 points increase
per ply. I do not believe this would be a constant figure. My Hiarcs 6 will
normally reach 7 ply and sometimes 8 ply in the middle game. Do you have any
kind of graph showing what might be expected with each ply increase from 4, 5,
6, 7, 8 or 9 plies in the middle game. Does the increase in rating decrease as
one moves to higher levels? In other words, do you get as more increase as you
move from 7 to 8 than you do from 8 to 9.

If anyone else has information on this topic please feel free to add your
comments.
